Marcia Gay Harden

Marcia Gay Harden, born 14 August 1959 in La Jolla (California), was the third of five. Beverly Bushfield is her mother employed as a domestic worker, while Thad Harold Harden was in the army. She began to develop an interest in the theatre when she lived within her home with her relatives in Greece and going to plays in Athens. Harden completed her undergraduate studies in Europe at American universities and later moved to the US in order to finish her master's degree at University of Texas. In 1983, Harden earned her MFA from NYU. Harden had already appeared in one movie in 1986 in The Imagemaker, but her first major role was in Miller's Crossing, the Coen Brothers' offbeat, clever tribute to gangster films. Harden was widely praised by critics for her stunning performance as Verna. Harden worked hard in the role of a supporting actress, as Ava Gardner in Sinatra (92), the television biopic of Frank Sinatra.
